It's the last day of SXSW and now it's time to go on that smoothie detox to cleanse five days worth of BBQ, beer and breakfast tacos. With what energy we had left, we caught rapper Earl Sweatshirt's impressive festival debut (with Flying Lotus making beats and spitting verses as Captain Murphy, no less), rocked hard to Girl in a Coma and celebrated Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan's 46th birthday.
